This year saw Priors Hall Park proudly unveil the new Village Green, a brand new play area and the first community space located in the development’s recently launched Zone 2.
The Village Green has been designed to be a vibrant, engaging space for residents of all ages, including timber climbing frames, swings, slides, and other interactive equipment designed to inspire active play. A distinctive feature tree with wraparound seating offers a relaxing focal point, alongside a versatile games area equipped with pétanque pitch, table tennis, noughts and crosses and a ball labyrinth. Even the picnic benches invite creativity, featuring engraved chess boards to encourage strategic play in the fresh air. Homes from Barratt Homes provide scenic views of this beautifully landscaped area, enhancing the appeal of living in Priors Hall Park.
Lee Barron, the new MP for Corby and East Northamptonshire, officially opened the new play area in September, as Priors Hall Park continues to build on its reputation as the destination of choice for new homes in Corby.
This addition builds on the success of Zone 1, which already features a diverse range of outdoor amenities, including three uniquely themed play areas and two outdoor gyms. Each play area in Zone 1 has been designed with distinct landscape-inspired themes, showcasing high-quality timber equipment suitable for children of all ages.
It was a genuine pleasure to open the play area at Priors Hall Park and see for myself this lovely development. It is important youngsters of all ages have the opportunity to play in a safe and healthy environment. Research tells us that active play develops fundamental movement skills, such as coordination and balance, and engenders confidence and motivation. So, as well as looking good, this play area will enrich the lives of local families.
Lee Barron, MP for Corby
We were delighted to welcome Lee Barron MP to our Priors Hall Park development. The new village green created by Urban&Civic looks brilliant and offers fun for a wide variety of age groups. We hope our new residents at the development will enjoy playing here.
